Wisdom from “The King of Kong”

March 10, 2008

First things first.  If you haven’t seen The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters, do yourself a favor and set aside a couple hours to be amazed.  The hit documentary is filled with many nuggets of proverbial wisdom as evident is the following inclusions.

Billy Mitchell: No matter what I say, it draws controversy. It’s sort of like the abortion issue.
————————————————————————————————————————-
Jillian Wiebe (Steve’s Daughter): I never knew that the Guinness World Record Book was so… I never knew it was so important.
Steve Wiebe: I guess a lot of people are… yeah, a lot of people read that book.
Jillian Wiebe: [while directly looking at Steve, her father] Some people sort of ruin their lives to be in there.

Brian Kuh: If anybody wants to see, there’s a Donkey Kong kill screen coming up.
————————————————————————————————————————-
Adam Wood: I don’t drink, I don’t smoke, I don’t do drugs. I play video games, which I think is a far superior addiction to any of those other ones.

Billy Mitchell: …but competetive gaming, when you wanna attach your name to a world-record, when you want your name written into history, you have to pay the price!

It’s just too good to pass up.  Go get it!
